Interview with Jens Christian Christiansen, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at bcm transtech as.
We are here at FEFCO. How do you like the show?
Well, it’s a very nice show. We have participated in this show for many, many years and we like to see all our agents and customers, so we are looking forward to meeting them.
Can you mention any advantages or disadvantages of this show, because you have a lot of experience in the exhibitions? Like what do you like here? Or maybe what you don’t like?
There are of course a lot of nice exhibitors and customers to meet. And I think it’s important after the COVID that we meet each other again. There are many, many meetings online today and to make the real handshake is a good opportunity to catch up again.
What exactly did you bring for us today? What is your product here? What would you like to show us?
Our newest product is our automatic storage systems, which handle flatbed dies, rotary dies and printing plates. We also see a big interest from our customers. We can help them to develop a new greenfield factory. And it’s presented on the screen.
We have some videos here where you can see an automatic storage. Bringing the die. This is the biggest storage we have made so far. It can store up to 5000 printing plates and several thousands of dies. It is 12 meters high, and everything is automated.
That’s impressive. What are your goals? What are your expectations after the exhibition of this show? What would you like to achieve?
Our goals and expectations are of course to speak with customers who have ongoing projects with new greenfield factories, where we can help them to make the right storage system and the right factory layout. That is where we see our experience, which is almost 25 years now.
How did your company perform in 2023? What challenges did you face and what achievements have you accomplished?
Well, 2023 will be our best year. When we look at the installations and the turnover. It will be our best year in the corrugated industry since 1999. So, we have good expectations also for next year.
Maybe you can tell something for your customers and for our audience about what is unique in your product and what is your advantage over the competitors in the corrugated industry.
Well, bcm transtech has been the market leader and the first mover with these kinds of storage systems since 1999. And of course, we have some competitors, but we also have this as our dedicated product where we spend our development and our time. We still have things to do in the market. And we invite you to try our innovative and efficient solution and see the benefits for yourself.
Thank you for your time. Thank you for the interview!
